You want to help a homeless animal but you aren’t quite ready for another animal. Or maybe you can only commit for a shorter time period instead of an animal’s lifetime. We NEED you! Fostering is the perfect way to get your puppy/kitten/dog/cat fix without having to own one. Besides feeding, loving and caring for the animal(s) we also ask that you publicize(facebook/twitter/blogs/craigslist/etc) your foster animal (unless to young, sick or injured) so that they have a better chance of finding their forever homes. Prospective adopters of your animal still must fill out an application and be approved by the adoption committee.

*Being a Foster helps us to create space in the shelter to accommodate other homeless pets. Pets in the Foster Program provide companionship and purpose – your act of kindness is repaid in rewards that are beyond words.

Foster Candidates

Pets needing a temporary home and a Foster include:

Injured pets that need time to recover and recuperate in a quiet, comfortable setting

Nursing moms that need time to wean her puppies/kittens in the comforts of a home

Pets that require more socialization than can be available at the shelter

Neglected or abused pets that need tender loving care

Any healthy, non aggressive pet that is brought into the shelter

Orphaned babies that need to be bottle fed (fosters must have experience bottle feeding or be willing to learn)
